Use translated text

Each instance can be
localized, translating the instance
to the instance's local language.

Translated text fields allow the same field to display different content based on the user's
language.

There are two different translated text fields:

Translated Text

Translated HTML

These fields operate the same as text and HTML fields respectively, except that they can store
multiple inputs in multiple languages.

The most frequent uses of translated text fields are in the Knowledge Base (e.g. article titles
or content) or the Service Catalog (e.g. names, descriptions, or variables). The Knowledge Base
also has an option for internationalization with the Knowledge Management Internationalization
Plugin, which allows for language-specific articles rather than translating articles.

Note: The type is translated separately from Translated
Text and Translated HTML fields.

There is a slight performance penalty associated with changing a normal HTML or text field into a translated HTML or text field. It is best only to use translated fields if the translated capability is required.
